The Buddha said: 「Be aware of going, when going」. When we walk, the air-element prevails, which is experienced as pressure, or stiffness in terms of its characteristics, or motion, pushing or movement in terms of its function. The Buddha, however, did not instruct us to note it as 「pressure,」 「stifthess,」 「movement.」 「motion」 or 「pushing.」 The Buddha』s actual instruction is: 「Be aware of going, when going」. That』s all. The reason is he wanted to give the easy and understandable way. Noting in conventional language is quite familiar and easy to every body, of course. 佛陀說:「走時知道走」。當我們行走的時候,風元素很顯著,我們體驗到擠壓、緊繃,這是風元素的特性;或者運動、推動、移動,這是風元素的作用。但佛陀並沒有教我們觀照它為「擠壓」、「緊繃」、「移動」、「運動」或「推動」,佛陀實際的教導是:「走時知道走」,就是這樣而已。其原因是佛陀想教我們易行能懂的方法。顯然,用世俗語言標記觀照則人人都熟悉易行。
